Introducing the 1940's Bow Belt pattern. This is a hand traced copy of a special vintage pattern from my collection. It is a fun little project that is perfect for using a small piece of something special (5/8 yard). The pattern is hand traced on dotted pattern paper, with handwritten notes on the pattern. Instructions are scanned and there is an information sheet with some notes. The bow is created from 3 pieces, 1 for each side and 1 for the bow piece. It comes sized for a 28" but is easy to enlarge to your measurements. It requires some interfacing for the center that really depends on the weight/belt of the fabric. The pattern recommends hymo that is cross stitched down. You can make this with a variety of fabrics, you can underline to make more stable and sturdy. Feel free to ask me for advice. 

Sample is cut crossgrain in this fabric here. The pattern is vintage so originally laid out on very narrow fabric on the grain. I cut lay this out on the crossgrain which saves 1/2 the fabric and is much wider. The pattern piece have the grainline on them. I recommend laying out on crossgrain.
